S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

Figure the CZers have their club we should have our own. I know there are several of us lurking in the shadows out there, so I'll start it up. Bought my first 3rd gen in 2012 a 4506-1. I have since followed it up with a 5906, 5946, 3906, 5903, and 3913. I have owned a 6906, but didn't like how it felt in my hand. There's nothing that compares to a pure stainless steel tank that was built to last with some topping out at 36oz empty.

My very first gun back in 1992ish was a brand new 5903. As I bought more firearms later, I eventually sold and regreted it. I picked a decent one a year or so ago. I also picked up a good 3913 recently from a member here.
I love my 3rd gens.

That's the way it was with my first 5906. I sold it as I couldn't hit anything and the sights were seized. Then regretted especially when my wife said she wanted it after I had sold it. I finally found another one that worked for me. I'm starting to feel the same about that 6906 but more for collector appeal and maybe some shooting. My 3913 I drove down to Indy after a guy on FB was looking for an LC9 for his wife. I had only 375 in the gun and gear, but knew I would be getting the better deal. I was even better when i found out it was a DOC trade in made in 2000. I have seen the 3913's appreciate in value by about 75-125 in the last year.
